  • In today’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® podcast, I chat with Rho Thomas, an attorney and financial coach who helps lawyers gain control over their finances to build a life of freedom and choice.

    Rho, who began her journey as a trademark attorney, shifted to financial coaching once she learned how to pay down her own $678K in debt, primarily from law school and her husband’s medical school loans. She believes that true wealth is having control of your time, which led her and her husband to the goal of paying off debt before starting their family so they would have ample time to spend with their children when the time came.

    For the last four-plus years, Rho has helped other lawyers get out of debt and manage their money better to create freedom and choice in their own lives. She also hosts the Personal Finance for Lawyers podcast, where she shares strategies each week for lawyers to improve their money mindset and manage their money to achieve true wealth.

    Listen in as Rho and I discuss:

    The mental and emotional impacts of carrying significant debt and how to overcome them.Key strategies for lawyers looking to improve cash flow and better manage their personal finances.Rho's advice on prioritizing expenses and making financial decisions that align with personal values.Her personal journey from big law to financial independence and why she made the leap to full-time financial coaching.Practical tips for couples navigating financial differences and aligning on shared goals.Why financial freedom is about more than just numbers—it’s about creating options and living life on your own terms.And much more!

  • Recently, I was having a conversation with another woman lawyer about marketing options for small law firms, and she shared with me that she did not like seeing herself on video, so it was hard to imagine she would create reels on Instagram or videos for TikTok.

    I totally understood! I do not love either seeing myself on video or hearing my recorded voice. And I know we are not alone. It comes up frequently in conversations with other women law firm owners of a certain age!

    In this culture where women appear to be valued for youth and beauty, it takes confidence and strong self-esteem to put yourself out there if you think you have passed some kind of imaginary expiration date.

    Comparison-it is on social media is not reserved just for people in their teens and 20s. Even those of us with lots of emotional management tools in our toolboxes can get caught up in comparing ourselves and our lives with what we see in our social feeds.

    I can tell you all day, every day, that other people are not judging you nearly as hard as you judge yourself, but if you hate being on video, you likely will not really care.

    So, I wanted to reassure you that there are other options for marketing your law firm besides becoming an Instagram or TikTok influencer. You don’t have to dance for your supper if the mere thought makes you feel a little sick.

    Listen in to hear about five marketing tactics you can start using today to grow your law firm business.

    I also share with you some of the missteps I made and what I would do differently if I were starting over today. I hope they help you avoid these same mistakes.

  • You’d think by now after being an attorney and business owner for almost two decades, I would know what I’m about to share with you today. But the one thing I know about life as an entrepreneur and business owner is that there are ALWAYS lessons to be learned. As Abraham Hicks says: “You will never get it done, and you can never get it wrong.”

    Why? Because, as human beings, we are always receiving new information and transforming how we think and behave based on that information—yes, even those of us we wouldn’t think ever change are always changing.
